A plastic disk for retention of a corneal graft.
نویسنده
چکیده
THE figure shows a transparent plastic disk shaped to the curvature of the cornea, 7 mm. in diameter with four flanges notched on either side about 1f mm. from their end, for the retention of sutures passed through the superficial half of the cornea. This disk affords reasonably secure fixation for a corneal graft and at the same time its transparency allows inspection of its edges at the operation and of its position afterwards.

In this paper, an analytical solution for computing the plastic & linear plastic stresses and critical angular velocity in a FGM hollow & solid rotating disk is developed. It has been assumed that the modulus of elasticity and yield strength were varying through thickness of the FGM material according to a power law relationship. The Poisson's ratio were considered constant throughout the thick...
